What's New

Well, a lot of things have been going on with me lately that have really slowed things down a bit as far as posting goes.

Mostly, I've developed... a social life. True, it's mostly friends from work, but I do other things outside of work as well, like Aikido... and that's about it for now.

I'm still working on 50 Shades of Blue, the first draft this week, but it's going slower than expected to start writing it. I was trying to write it in First-Person Point of View, but I wasn't doing so well like that. I'm really quite terrible in first person. I'm going to revert to Third-Person-Singular and see if that helps me with my writing process better. I think I'm just more comfortable with that writing style.

I certainly can't do the Hunger Games style because that's just crazy. And it highlighted how stupid Katniss was.

In addition, I am watching Legends of Korra, when the season ends, I'll do my review of that. I'm also going to watch Once Upon a Time and Once Upon a Time in Wonderland when they start with reviews for the first episodes and how they engage me and then for the last episode of the season. I will tell you I have little hope that Once Upon a Time will improve. I got thoroughly annoyed with it last season, and usually that means the show is going downhill with no recourse. Of course, Angel improved for Season Five, but then it was cancelled.

I'm still going to watch old episodes of Doctor Who, but it WILL be slow-going. Eventually, I may use it for something. I don't know what. Some part of me really wants to try to rewrite the New Series in some way to better fit the known cannon of the Old Series, but that would take a lot of work.

And it would be fanfiction.

I've never written fanfiction.

I'm also still working on Awoken by Serra Elinsen and I'll someday finish This Book Is Full of Spiders by David Wong or Cyn will kill me!

Other than that, not a lot to post this week unless I finish The Macra Terror.

Doctor Who: The Celestial Toymaker

Image
The Celestial Toymaker  is the twenty-fourth serial of Doctor Who  or the seventh serial of Season Three of the series. It originally aired in fourth weekly parts between April 2 and 23, 1966. Like most of the serials of Season Three, this serial is missing episodes. In this case, it is the first three episodes of the serial with the final episode still in the BBC archives. So, once again, I'll be mostly watching a Loose Cannon Inc. reconstruction. I would say that I'm getting to enjoy these reconstructions, but I would be lying through my teeth. I don't know much about the Toymaker himself other than the fact that the Doctor was invisible at the end of the last serial with the Refusians getting the blame for some reason while the Doctor denied the possibility of that. We'll get to see in this serial what's really going on... I hope! Two Hours Later... Well... That was interesting. Once again, I find myself wishing these serials weren't missing.

Once Upon a Time

Soap Opera Fairy Tales! So... last year, there were two new shows available to watch on two big channels that heavily featured fairy tales as part of their plot.  The first one I heard of and saw commercials for was Grimm  which was created by the some of the people who helped write Buffy the Vampire Slayer  and Angel .  In fact, it sort of looked like a detective show (a la Angel ) about a person from a long line of monster hunters (a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer ).  It wasn't too far off the mark from what was promised and I figured I'd like it more than the other  fairy tale-based TV show that was also being made that year. That other show turned out to be Once Upon a Time...  or as my friend and I call it OUaT or as I think I'll call it from now on... OUT.  Seems fitting for some reason. So, OUT is a fantasy-drama series created by the guys who created  TRON:Legacy  and Lost , Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz.  It's about a town, Storybrooke, Maine where all

Soul Mates

I've been thinking a lot about the idea of soul mates lately and how it is used in books in movies.  It's a complicated subject for me because there are a lot  of ways the idea of soul mates, soul bonds, etc. can be used in terrible, uncreative, and even idiotic ways.  On the other hand, when they're used somewhat well, you can give them or take them from the story.  They don't really matter much.  It's just like, "Oh... and they're soul mates, by the way." It's like an afterthought  and incredibly lame.  When used right--and there are a lot of different ways the idea of soul mates can  be used right--it's magical.  It's amazing.  It makes me like  soul mates. So, some background, because I always have some story that explains my view on a certain subject and if you've gotten this far into the blog, you should know this already.  I do and I don't believe in real, genuine, actual soul mates existing in this world.  See, I do  beli
